Welcome back Mandy, good to see you're still here! Two very interesting shots to start with, love the focus on the bubbly bit on the second one With 68 starters for the year, I don’t think any of us have a chance of commenting on every entry every week, but I hope to keep popping in to each thread at least once in a while. Good luck with the rest of the year.
Hi again Mandy
Neat idea ... you might find me sneakily nicking it one day.
Great start Mandy I think I prefer #1
I prefer the first out of these two personally. The design on the wrapping paper is too clear to me in the second and vies for my attention with the bubbles. A good start to the year though.
Good interpretation of the theme.
TBH not keen on the PP, but that just me. But having seen them without any PP, you have posted the better of the 2 photos.
I note it's only the lid, presumably the content could not be included because you ate it! . Can't get closer to the theme than that.
A good start to the year Mandy!
Pattern - I also thought ice was involved, I prefer the first shot!
Bliss - Well spotted in the shop. I think I would have preferred to have seen the pot as well as the lid to give a bit more depth. Well done on the processing though - it's something I need more work on!
I like your simple approach to the theme.
Hey Mandy! I really like it overall - looks quite magaziney (if that's a real word [emoji15]). Well done on the PP, I just get too frustrated with it all[emoji23]
Hi Mandy
another interesting take on the theme.....might have to try one of those Greek style yoghurts
Good choice of gradient colors, pp looks good for a 1st attempt....it always takes me 3 or 4 goes to get an image how I want t to look ( & even then it can look pants ! ).
The writing is the thing that irks me .....what is Sherbliss ? I'd be tempted to pull the writing lower down in the frame to be level with the lid then crop in a little from either side
Hi Mandy, while I suspect that the image may not be the best you have ever taken, you are to be admired for all the pp effort put in to the end result. Turning a simple pot of yoghurt into a worthwhile 52 entry doesn't happen without time and patience. You are off and running which is more than can be said for me. Well done!
Great idea, I agree though that the white writing is a little hard to see on that background.
Hiya Mandy... nice idea and definitely on theme in a difficult week. I'd probably prefer the yoghurt at a slight angle and I'd be tempted to have a play around with lighting direction/type to try to soften some of the specular highlights reflecting off the foil... but boy, it's a hard week this week so well done for capturing.
I am liking the idea of this and the flow of colour from the background to the yoghurt top. You need to add the missing "e" to sher bliss and I think I would change the writing colour to possibly the red or darker green colour, couldn't see the writing initially when I looked on my phone. You have the darker green as an outline. maybe worth trying both versions just out of curiosity. Then sell it to Muller. it really as the makings of an advert.
Excellent idea Mandy, a well spotted product, a nice bright image, I feel darker text would make this a real nice clean product shot
Point 1. you learned something, which is, IMO, what it's all about.
It's an interesting take on the theme and really pops. I might have gone for a less bright BG so the text and lid popped out a bit more. The bright area from the flash is an issue.
Overall, on theme.
Cheers.
That's MUCH better Mandy
